en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 ian 2013
First published in 1963, in East Germany, They Divided the Sky tells the story of a young couple, living in the new, socialist, East Germany, whose relationship is tested to the extreme not only because of the political positions they gradually develop but, very concretely, by the Berlin Wall, which went up on August 13, 1961.

Recenzii

"An ardent young socialist convinced of culture's mission to educate, Wolf wrote her first novel in 1963. Originally called "Divided Heaven", it has now been reissued as "They Divided the Sky". The difference goes deeper than the title. Luise von Flotow's faithful new rendering replaces a text that had been badly twisted by a zealous editor who was determined to suppress all straying from the party line. ... The new version introduces in English for the first time the introspective, autobiographical voice that became Wolf's signature and strength. Its fragmented points of view and flashbacks were innovative. From the start her ambition was to honour the inner voice and "bridge the contradiction between party diktat and personal truthfulness", in the words of her biographer, Jorg Magenau. This made her a revered, almost saintly figure to her East German readers; at the same time, her consistently uncertain, questioning tone put her on a collision course with the socialist leadership."
